There seems to be very many people in the US the thinks it is a duty of the Internet to transport their mail just because they happen to have a UUCP connection to a local university. They could at least be grateful and get registered to help administration, or why can't the unregistered UUCP network at least try to do something about it. Email is NEVER free. Probably somebody else are paying for your mail, and occupying megs and megs of disk to keep in touch with you. In sweden there are no .UUCP nodes ( to my knowledge ), and registration is 1000Skr/year for membership in the Europeean Unix users group, which includes the ability to register domains. Just putting some wood on the fire. -- --- Per Andersson Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden perand@admin.kth.se, @nada.kth.se
